Hi =D my full name is Garrett Cole Hoffman. I like to swim, play soccer, listen to music, and hang out with friends. I'am fifteen years old and I have one pet. My one and only pet is a cat and her name is Sheena. My favorite food to eat is hot pockets even though they aren't the healthiest thing for you to eat they are still my favorite food. When it comes to Music I'll listen to anything and my favorite color is green.
My Leaf Information
My leaf's name is Paper Birch.
Its scientific name is Betula Papyrifera Marshall
This tree has few organisms that infect it but one of them is a beetle called Bronze birch borer (Agrilus Anxuis) it effects the tree by boring straight into the vascular layer and interrupting the flow of sap. The other organism that infects the tree is called Fenusa Pusilla. It causes brown spots on the leaf and may disfigure the tree.
The Paper Birch provides Medicine by drinking its sap. Hundreds of confederate soldiers were saved by using birch bark for food. Native Americans use Birch dust in tea and the Paper Birch is a nut-bearing tree.
The Paper Birch is found in woods and roadsides and it is a animal shelter/food supply during the winter.
Related trees to the Paper Birch is the Yellow Birch, River Birch, and Sweet Birch. They are related by having single stemmed trees, some may be clumped having 3-5 stems, they have yellow leaves in the Fall, and White Bark.
The Paper Birch is used for Cradles, Baskets, Canoes, Roofing Pit Houses, Bows, Spoons, and Toothpicks.
Twig Characteristics of the Paper Birch are slightly drooping or horizontal.
The tree is mostly found in North America and Canada, also in PA.
Food and Fiber
Millet
· Millet is a major crop in many countries mainly in Africa and the Indian subcontinent.
· Hunzas are people that live in the Himalayan foothills, they used Millet as a cereal, in soups, and for making a dense, whole grain bread called chapatti. In India roti are often made from millet flour and used as the basis for meals. In Eastern Europe millet is used in Porridge and Kasha, or is fermented into a beverage. In Africa it is used to make bread, as baby food, and as uji, a thin gruel used as breakfast porridge. In some countries it is used as a stuffing ingredient for cabbage rolls.
· Millet is shown to have great aptitude and versatility and more and more uses for millet are being discovered every year, including its potential benefits in the American diet. Millet is superior feed for poultry, swine, fish, and livestock and, is being proven, for humans as well.
